OPUS® High Speed Scanning AFM Tips
55AC-NA
OPUS® High Frequency Tapping Mode AFM Cantilever with Al Reflective Coating
![]()
AFM Probe Specifications:
Reflective Aluminum
AFM probes of the 55AC series are designed for high speed AFM imaging.
The tetrahedral AFM tip is located precisely at the free end of the AFM cantilever. This allows the AFM tip to be positioned accurately over the area of interest on the sample surface.
The uncoated AFM tip offers a sharp AFM tip apex and chemical inertness. The back side aluminum coating significantly enhances the AFM cantilever reflectivity in air and vacuum. For operation in liquids we recommend using the 55AC-NG with a reflective gold coating.

AFM Probe Specifications:
Reflective Gold
AFM probes of the 55AC series are designed for high speed AFM imaging.
The tetrahedral AFM tip is located precisely at the free end of the AFM cantilever. This allows the AFM tip to be positioned accurately over the area of interest on the sample surface.
The uncoated AFM tip offers a sharp AFM tip apex and chemical inertness. The back side gold coating ensures high and stable laser reflectivity in air, vacuum, liquid and aggressive chemical environments.

OPUS AFM Probes: Optimized Positioning Upon Sample
Olympus replacement AFM probes
In September 2022 Olympus®* Corp. decided to discontinue all their Olympus®* AFM probes. OPUS AFM tips are identical to Olympus®* AFM tips in form, fit and function.
